Synopsis

Jo (Josephine) is twelve and a half, and not particularly looking forward to yet another family fortnight in North Wales. Despite her earlier misgivings, however, the holiday takes a definite turn for the better as she gets to know some of the locals... including an eighteenth century pirate! Clearly he needs her help to understand and deal with the modern world, and together they make a great team. The story contains a mixture of reality and fantasy, but which is which? You decide. The greatest gift to give a child is... time.

About this title

About the Author:

Julian Francis (like most of his main characters) is something of an outsider. Despite being on occasional nodding terms with the establishment, he remains, most definitely, not part of it. His stories aim to uncover myth, mystery and quasi-religious magic in the humdrum: questing for possibilities at the end of daydreams; exploring unrealised fantasies and unachievable ambitions. Julian comes from a non-literary background; he originally studied Theatre Design; working in opera, film and TV before rerouting into teaching. He likes foxes, bicycles... and, of course, writing stories.
